Fourier Transform
• Fourier Transform pair

• Fourier Transform is in general a complex function of frequency

• The concept of the frequency response of LTI systems is essentially the
same for continuous-time and discrete-time systems.
• However, an important distinction arises because the frequency response
of discrete-time LTI systems is always a periodic function of the frequency
variable ω with period 2π

• The phase is usually defined modulo 2p, i.e. taking the values in the
interval of –p to p (or any interval of 2p)

Zulaikha Kiran, 2024 5

• We generally specify H(ejω) over the interval−π < ω ≤ π.
• With respect to this interval, the “low frequencies” are frequencies
close to zero, whereas the “high frequencies” are frequencies close to
±π.
• In general, the “low frequencies” are those that are close to an even
multiple of π, while the “high frequencies” are those that are close to
an odd multiple of π,

Symmetry Properties of Fourier Transform
• Conjugate Symmetry :
• Conjugate anti-symmetry :

• A real conjugate-symmetric sequence x[n] is called even if :

• A real conjugate-anti symmetric sequence x[n] is called odd if :

Symmetry Properties of Fourier Transform
• Fourier Transform can be decomposed into conjugate symmetric and anti-
symmetric components as :
